Relative Something

April 8,  Namche Bazaar.

Our first day of acclimatization, easing our bodies into an altitude more than two miles above sea level. We have the day at leisure to enjoy the social and bustling market at the climbing center of the Everest Himalayas.

I’ll see how many folks I can meet that have plans to summit the big one. I hope that is all the closer I get to the motivation to climb Everest; just to stand next to it and maybe shake the hand of someone who is consumed by it.
